Just my opinion...

I recently got into a conversation on whether or not people should care more about their own families or create self awareness for everyone to show their children how to understand and learn situation on child care to better develop youth of today and make the future better.

Personally, I will work, help, support my family in any way I can, and "Personally" I could give a flying fuck less about the family down the street.

Does it make me a horrible person to care less about others feelings and tend to my own flesh and blood than to try to improve the future generations by contributing more to the school systems to which my child is raised in to make them better educated throughout schooling?

I am sorry I do not have the empathy for children starving half way around the world, I am sorry I could care less that my neighbor is having problems battling cancer.

I feel that if I am raising my children healthy and happy, that I am more worried about them having a cold than my neighbor falling down the stairs.

I'm not saying I wouldn't do my best to help, call 911, help them to the ambulance, but I will not go out of my way to look for problems with others or help them for that matter. My family is important to me and to be honest, I could give a flying fuck less about about anyone else.

My question is......

Does this make me a bad person???

I am back and just like PP have said I did not mention mental health issues in a bad way at all nor did I imply in ANY way that there should not be financial support for people with mental health issues. I do however find it interesting that a person who is getting help from others would be so DOWN on helping back. I also find it interesting that some people chewing my ass are the same people that warned (not OP but his wife) that their situation might lead to exactly these kinds of feelings.
